    Tux is my copilot, and never tries to be a back-seat driver.

    I’m surprised they didn’t try to sell it to an ad company.

    I can’t believe this came before Samsung letting you reprogram your Bixby key.

    why even make it in the first place? just use a keyboard shortcut or something.

      So you know the built-in keyboard shortcut on Windows that opens LinkedIn? (IIRC it’s Ctrl+Alt+Win+Shift+L)

      That’s because Microsoft sold keyboards for a while with “Office keys,” so you could hit Office+W for Word, Office+X for Excel, etc. All that key would do is send all those modifiers. There are plenty of unused modifier key codes they could use instead, but they did this.

      I’m guessing this key works the same.

    All I care to know is what code it sends to the machine so I can submit a merge to Plasma to default that key to opening krunner.
